Désormais confronté à la dispersion des lieux de culture, à la diversité des œuvres présentées, à leur nombre croissant tout comme à celui des publications qui les concernent, le public paraît encore aujourd'hui déboussolé par l'irruption de l'art contemporain. Que penser en effet de ces chefs-d'oeuvre qui n'en sont peut-être pas ? ou plutôt : comment les penser ? Cet ouvrage permet d'aborder sans détour le travail artistique d'aujourd'hui dans toutes ses dimensions. Il montre que, bon gré mal gré, notre société est devenue une société culturelle et qu'il en résulte, au niveau artistique comme aux yeux du public, des conséquences troublantes.

"Using the way in which artists from the former Eastern bloc perceive the experience of EU integration and transition from a Soviet past as a conceptual launching pad, this book explores how artists critically inhabit a permanent state of 'in-between' to capture the simultaneous existence of multiple and overlapping temporalities. Transitional aesthetics are artistic strategies that disrupt and interrogate ideologically loaded trajectories of cultural, social, or political transition. Examples of such trajectories include the movement from totalitarianism to democracy (post-socialism), from war to freedom and reconciliation (post-conflict), and from the edges of Europe to its centre (inclusion in the European Union). These transitional states include: the future orientation of (failed) socialism and the perpetual present of global capital; the history of unresolved past conflicts and reconciliation through 'transitional justice'; nationalist obsessions with the past and the cultural appeal of kitsch and retro objects in fashion, film and music; and the uncertain future promise of EU membership and resurgence of global right-wing populism, headed by figures like Berlusconi, Le Pen, and Trump. Transitional Aesthetics shows that apprehending time in contemporary art is fundamental to capturing the lived experience of a permanent state of instability; particularly relevant to Europe in the contemporary moment. In a world that has entered 'accelerated transition' towards instability, understanding this experience has broad and resonating relevance for politics, art and society."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
